CLT Field Trip

This week the class took a field trip to the AT&T Center for Learning and Technology in the Coates Library.  It was my first time to visit the center and I was rather surprised by how much useful equipment and software there was accessible to me.  The center is a large area downstairs filled with both Mac and PC computers, scanners, and a variety of multimedia software for creating and editing.  I never realized just how much equipment was available for students to use.  I could use the software there for a plethora of class projects.  For example, I have an assignment in my Acting 1 class involving audio recording, and the software in the center would be incredibly useful for that.  I think it could be equally helpful for our class as well- the Digital Audio Lab and Media Presentation Lab could assist with creating presentations for class!  In addition, the Innovation Studio is dedicated to educating students and faculty alike about using school software and could assist me with any troubles I have with software.  With all of it's high tech equipment and software available for students, the center could be helpful for virtually any creative project, whether academic, artistic, or personal.  I'll definitely be returning to the center soon!
